The first ever Autonation Cure Bowl comes to form as the San Jose State Spartans and Georgia State Panthers get set to battle it out Saturday night.
This unique matchup has invited a 5 win team, due to the fact that there were not enough bowl eligible teams.

Still, the 5 win Spartans come in as slim favorites over the 6 win Panthers in this one.
San Jose State Spartans
San Jose State had plenty of chances to grab that 6th win this season, but dropped 3 of their last 4 games to stay at just 5 wins.
Under the NCAA Academic Progress Report, with not enough teams qualifying for bowl bids, the Spartans were invited to participate in this Cure Bowl.
[dfads params=’groups=226&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
The Spartans bring in an offense that was completely balanced this season. They had over 2,000 yards both on the ground and through the air.
The nation will get a look at the 11th best RB in terms of yards in the nation in Tyler Ervin. The star RB compiled 1469 yards and averages 122.4 yards per contest.
Ervin was held to 80 yards or fewer in 3 of the last 4 games for San Jose State, which leads to reasoning of why the Spartans failed down the stretch.
Georgia State Panthers
The Panthers offense has been one of the best passing offenses in the nation.
Led by QB Nick Arbuckle, the Panthers have thrown for 346.7 yards per game. Arbuckle has thrown for 1496 yards and 10 touchdowns during this 4 game winning streak the Panthers are on. The 4 game winning streak propelled them to 6 wins and put them in the position to clinch a bowl game spot.
[dfads params=’groups=219&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
Overall this season, Arbuckle threw for 4160 yards, which ranked 6th in the nation.
While the defense has allowed 28.4 points per game, they really stepped things up down the stretch to help the success of the Panthers. They have allowed just 21 points per game during their winning streak.
The Panthers D held Georgia Southern, the leading rushing team in the nation, to just 135 yards in the season finale.
